New York – Retailer Story has joined forces with North American supermarket chain Target to create its Christmas concept Home for the Holidays.
The New York store, famed for integrating its products into themed interior designs that change every four to eight weeks, now stocks 300 Target products, curated by Story founder and owner Rachel Shechtman.
